Zhao\u2019s work at the Sam Nunn School as a PhD Candidate in International Affairs, Science and Technology focuses on nuclear arms control and nonproliferation to address the implications for strategic stability at global and regional levels. His dissertation looks into mechanisms of trust-building between the United States and China in the process of bilateral nuclear arms control interaction. \u0026nbsp;At the Belfer Center, he will work with experts at the International Security Program and the Project on Managing the Atom to conduct research on U.S.-China nuclear relationship over a period of eleven months.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Stanton Foundation was created by Frank Stanton, former president of CBS, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest executives in the history of electronic communications. In 1954, Dwight Eisenhower appointed him to a committee convened to develop the first comprehensive plan for the survival of the U.S. following a nuclear attack. \u0026nbsp;Stanton had lead responsibility for developing plans for national and international communication in the aftermath of a nuclear incident. Stanton also served as the chairman (1961-67) and trustee (1957-78) of the RAND Corporation. The Stanton Foundation aims, through its support of the Nuclear Security Fellows program, to perpetuate his efforts to meet these challenges.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Tong Zhao Picked As A Stanton Nuclear Security Pre-doctoral Fellow"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETong Zhao, a doctoral candidate in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was recently selected by the\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/belfercenter.ksg.harvard.edu\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EBelfer Center for Science and International Affairs\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;at Harvard Kennedy School of Government as a\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/belfercenter.ksg.harvard.edu\/fellowships\/stanton.html\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EStanton Nuclear Security Pre-doctoral Fellow\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Zhao chosen as a Stanton Nuclear Security Pre-doctoral Fellow to stimulate the development of the next generation of thought leaders in nuclear security."}],"uid":"27866","created_gmt":"2013-08-13 00:33:57","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:14:42","author":"Ava Roth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-08-12T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2013-08-12T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"228481":{"id":"228481","type":"image","title":"Tong Zhao","body":null,"created":"1449243582","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:39:42","changed":"1475894901","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:48:21","alt":"Tong Zhao","file":{"fid":"197473","name":"tong_zhao_2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tong_zhao_2_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tong_zhao_2_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":16674,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tong_zhao_2_0.jpg?itok=sxFNIY8y"}}},"media_ids":["228481"],"groups":[{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"}],"categories":[{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"71411","name":"nuclear arms control and nonproliferation"},{"id":"167256","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"},{"id":"44191","name":"Trust-building"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39481","name":"National Security"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFariah Majmundar, MS\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESenior Administrative Professional\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECenter for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy (CISTP)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESam Nunn School of International Affairs\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:fariah@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Efariah@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022tel:404-894-5601\u0022\u003E404-894-5601\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["fariah@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
